Indians Claim Jason Rice

By Tim Dierkes | September 6, 2011 at 1:49pm CDT

The Indians claimed minor league reliever Jason Rice off waivers from the Athletics, tweets Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.  The A's had acquired Rice from the Red Sox in the Conor Jackson deal last Wednesday.  The Tribe made room on the 40-man roster for Rice by moving Carlos Carrasco to the 60-day DL.

Rice, 25, posted a 3.69 ERA, 9.4 K/9, 4.4 BB/9, and 0.6 HR/9 in 85 1/3 Triple-A innings this year.  The Red Sox had obtained Rice from the White Sox in the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 draft, prior to the '09 season.  Red Sox vice president of player development and amateur scouting Mike Hazen talked to Pawtucket announcer Dan Hoard about Rice's arsenal in this post from February.

    Good luck to Jason. I met him once, and he is a heck of a nice guy.

    The typical pitcher who can strike out a lot of people but walks a lot too.

    This is complete shiet, the athletics website has no record of any transaction with him. He is on there current 40 man roster and in there bullpen as of yesterday. I find it highly suspect that they would toss away a pitcher they just traded for, who hasnt even appeared in a game for them yet. Once again we see just how far the chronicle has fallen in the last decade or so, at least think about what your saying before it comes out. Or does this situation actually seem plausible, free pitchers come and get em.

      ?

      According to the Athletics website Rice is not on their 40-man roster. What likely happened was the A’s were planning on getting rid of Jackson anyway and simply hoped to sneak Rice through the waiver wire and keep him in th minors without putting him on the 40-man roster yet.

        go to athletics main site click the 40 man roster page, in the pitchers it says rice i looked when i first saw the post. Also I doubt, but am not certain, he was out of options, so they could have probably outrighted him to triple A had they wished.

          I see Outman then Ross. No Rice.

          I’m never entirely certain how it works but I’m fairly certain one would have to be on the 40-man roster before they can be outrighted. I’m fairly certain when they traded for Rice they had to put him on the 40-man or put him through waivers.

      This sounds more like AvP than anything to me. Everyone loses.

    The A’s site shows that the Indians claimed Rice off of waivers today. It’s done. Boston can “win” the Jackson trade all they want, he’s never been the same since he had Valley Fever a couple years ago.

    Beane might be getting back at the indians.  They claim any A’s player put on waivers like Harden and Crisp but do not offer anything to get them.  Now the indians must make a move to keep Rice on their 40 man.  Rice is what he is a relief pitcher which are a dime a dozen.

      Or they added him for depth after announcing Carrasco was out for the rest of 2011 and all of 2012

    Jason was in uniform with the A’s since the trade and was in the Oakland bullpen available to pitch.  He was sent to Durham with the AAA team since they are in the playoffs.

      Durham is playing against Columbus in the playoffs. Columbus is the Indians’ affiliate.
